Report no. 12/2022

The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries has administered applications for support with clear indications of fraud in a satisfactory manner. 

The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries must administer applications for support in a manner that ensures the eligibility of the applicants and imposes administrative as well as criminal liability sanctions on fraudulent applicants. 

It is Rigsrevisionen’s assessment that the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries’ administration of applications with clear indications of fraud has been very unsatisfactory, which entails a risk that the criminal liability lapses and that that not all relevant cases are reported to the police.
